Cowden Emma #59 (API 42-003-31824) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged August 26, 2011, last operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 27, 1979, permitted to 4,400 ft.
It was permitted by Atlantic Richfield CO. and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 114K barrels of oil and 5.56K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 44 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
